  • Entry points

    I've been doing quite a bit of experimenting over the last month or so.
    Trying out different times to enter a trade and looking for the best exit points (green or red).

    Backing the favourite at 0-0 when receiving has been working quite well. I read recently that 38% of games on the WTA this year were breaks of serve, which probably won't surprise anyone. I usually get out for a small loss at 30-0 or 40-15 or if the game has been even and never more than a point between them, I just wait for the end of the game. Getting out for a profit at 0-30, 0-40, 15-40 are all decent options, depending on the price you got in at and how many ticks you can realistically expect to gain from there.

    15-15 has proved to be a good entry point as well, but again, it's mostly WTA that I get the joy with. I get out for a loss at 40-15 or the end of the game, similar to the 0-0 strategy. Exiting for a profit is again similar to 0-0 strategy, 15-40, 30-40 or waiting for break, it depends mostly on how you feel the game is going.

    My biggest downside seems to be not leaving trades running long enough to really maximise profits. The above strategies have been working but not with spectacular success, rather just a steady profit.

    I'd be interested to hear what other tennis traders favourite enter/exit points are, and how they go about maximising profitable trades.

    I've been experimenting aswell the last few weeks, I've been looking for value and going for big swings. I usually get in after the first break, if i think the market has over reacted it then i'll lay, if not i'll back. Ive made a fiver using £2 stakes () in the past week, it's something i wat to be able to trade but most of my time is devoted to racing so it's just getting the chance.
